EDITORS COMMENTS
October 1966: A Do-It-Yourself Cover Design Step into the 1960s with this vintage magazine cover design from October 1966. The image, titled "Do it yourself," showcases a man in the process of improving his home's front garden. With a determined look on his face, he kneels on the soil, surrounded by bricks and paving stones. The extra parking area off the road, visible in the background, suggests that this project is not only about aesthetics but also functionality. The DIY (Do It Yourself) trend was in full swing during the 1960s, with many homeowners taking on projects to enhance their living spaces. This cover design perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the era, where creativity, self-sufficiency, and a strong work ethic were highly valued. The man's attire – a simple T-shirt, jeans, and work boots – further emphasizes the hands-on nature of the project. The use of earthy tones and the textured background adds to the authenticity of the scene, making it a visually appealing and engaging cover design. As you take in the details of this image, you can almost hear the sound of shovels digging and hammers pounding, transporting you back to a time when people took pride in their homes and the work they put into them. This cover design is a testament to the enduring appeal of DIY projects and the satisfaction that comes from creating something with your own hands.
